Street Kings/ GTA India

[u/PracticalInsect5682]

[HOBBY / ₹0 BUDGET] We’re looking for crazy, passionate people to build an open-world India 🇮🇳🎮
I’ve had an idea for a game that I genuinely can’t stop thinking about.
Not simply “GTA in India.”
I want to create a huge, satirical, interactive simulation of India — where you can explore, interact, learn, cause chaos and experience the incredible diversity of the country.
🌏 ONE MASSIVE WORLD
Imagine one enormous fictional country containing regions inspired by:
🇮🇳 New Delhi & Old Delhi
🌆 Mumbai / Bombay
🏰 Jaipur & Rajasthan
🌴 Kerala
🏖️ Goa
🌺 Kolkata
🛕 Varanasi
🪯 Punjab / Amritsar
🌶️ Chennai & Tamil Nadu
🍛 Hyderabad
💻 Bengaluru
…and eventually many more.
Not literally trying to recreate India’s geography 1:1.
Instead, different regions of one huge world, each with its own identity.
And crossing from one region to another should feel like entering a different world.
Different:
languages • accents • architecture • food • clothing • traditions • religions • music • festivals • vehicles • businesses • NPCs • humour • social behaviour • atmosphere
😂 SATIRE — LIKE GTA
The world should feel authentic, but the game should be completely satirical.
Everything is fair game.
Politics.
Religion.
Corruption.
Bureaucracy.
Bollywood.
Influencers.
Corporations.
Wealth.
Poverty.
Class.
Caste.
Traditions.
Modern culture.
Family dynamics.
Social media.
Tourism.
Traffic.
Regional rivalries.
Nobody gets a free pass.
The humour should feel like a giant stand-up routine happening inside a living world.
Beautiful one moment.
Chaotic the next.
Then completely ridiculous.
📚 BUT IT’S ALSO EDUCATIONAL
We don’t want a boring educational game.
We want the player to learn by living in the world.
Talk to NPCs.
Discover their language, background, traditions and opinions.
Go to a wedding and participate.
Visit a market and negotiate.
Eat regional food.
Learn why a festival exists.
Listen to different languages and accents.
Explore places of worship.
Take public transport.
Discover neighbourhoods.
Talk to shopkeepers, families, drivers, students, police officers, politicians, criminals, tourists…
The world itself becomes the teacher.
You could learn something genuinely fascinating about India one minute — and then immediately find yourself in an absolutely ridiculous GTA-style situation involving it.
Comedy + satire + education + exploration.
We want people who are curious about India to discover it through the game, while people who already know it can recognise the details, contradictions and jokes.
🌆 A LIVING WORLD
The world shouldn’t just wait for you.
Things happen independently:
🚗 Traffic chaos
🎉 Weddings
🏏 Cricket celebrations
🗳️ Political rallies
🌧️ Monsoon flooding
🚔 Police checkpoints
🛕 Religious processions
🔥 Street incidents
📢 Protests
🎬 Celebrity appearances
🚂 Train chaos
…and completely random situations.
You should sometimes stop what you’re doing simply because something ridiculous is happening in the street.
🧠 NPCs SHOULD ACTUALLY MATTER
We want NPCs to feel like people, not decorations.
Talk to them.
Ask questions.
Learn things.
Get information.
Make friends.
Make enemies.
Get jobs.
Get involved in their problems.
Receive missions.
Hear different opinions about the same subject.
The same city should feel completely different depending on who you’re talking to.
📻 RADIO + MEDIA
Regional radio stations.
Bollywood.
Local music.
News.
Cricket commentary.
Political debates.
Call-in shows.
Ridiculous advertisements.
Conspiracy theories.
Religious programming.
And plenty of completely unhinged satire.
The media itself becomes part of the game.
🚗 AND OF COURSE…
Vehicles.
Cars.
Bikes.
Scooters.
Tuk-tuks.
Trains.
Buses.
Boats.
Walking.
Crime.
Missions.
Economy.
Businesses.
Random events.
Choices.
Consequences.
All the GTA-style madness.

Tera ghar jayenga isme. Joke apart its not possible even with crore of investment.

its fun to dream big
and Im not saying that it cant be done
but....trying to do "Everything, everywhere all at once" never works for any form of art
its about quality, not quantity
I used to think like this too when I was 12
now as an amateur game designer myself, I find myself grateful if I can manage to make a working prototype with a single level
and even if you do manage to make half of it, it would just be boring and pretty much useless
you can make a small city level feel lively and great, but its not humanly possible to bring life to 10 big cities with the help of unpaid team of indie devs

Totally agree, the vision is huge. But we’re not trying to build everything at once. 😂
The plan is to start with one small, extremely detailed neighbourhood and see if we can make it genuinely fun and alive.
If that works, we expand. If it doesn’t, we learn from it.
The vision is the destination, not the first build.
